Where I am From
I am from hurt and agony
Seeing the broken hearts yearning for a voice
String at the light brown coffin, covered with weeps

I am from grief
The cries of sadness from the loss of a beautiful life
A shotgun ring puts me to my knees

I am from disbelief
The aroma of Gerber daisies filling the room
Scent of red roses being laid upon your casket

I am from mourning
The faint taste of sweet salty tears streaming down my face
Imagining the taste of the metallic bullet

I am from a shattered heart
The tight grasp of your mothers hug
My shirt wet with both our tears

I am from confusion
Why was this life shorten by sorrow
Why the light at the end of the tunnel couldn’t be seen

I am from woefulness
Seeing an angel face through pictures only now
Makes me not understand how
How we couldn’t see
How we couldn’t help

I am missing you
Your laugh made my day
But now I am forced to go without
You found your saving grace
I wish you would have hung on
But I miss you and I won’t be long

Shine On Babygirl….Shine On
